How to Choose The Right Herbal Tea for Every Season?

In my opinion, herbal teas are more than just a simple drink. In fact, they are poetically considered a bridge that connects humans to nature. People all over the world have been using herbal teas for various purposes for centuries, but what is less often considered is which tea is suitable for which season and why. We all know that each season of the year has its own energy: in spring, the body needs cleansing, in summer, coolness, in autumn, relaxation, and in winter, warmth and strengthening the body’s immunity.

We can harmonize our bodies with nature’s cycle by choosing the right tea. It is enough to know which plant is most aligned with our inner needs in each season.

In this seasonal guide, we will categorize many herbal teas that are exactly suited to the weather conditions of each season and the natural needs of the body, so you can see what a big difference a cup of tea at the right time can make in your mental and physical state.
